An anonymous tip Tuesday morning led Harris County investigators to a trash bag containing human skeletal remains at the edge of a wooded area in north Harris County.

The remains were located about 30 yards off Walters Road near Old Walters Road shortly before 1 p.m. There were no clothes in the bag.

"At this point we don't have an ID and we don't know the gender," said Sgt. Felipe Rivera, a homicide investigator at the Harris County Sheriff's Office. He said the remains were found in a plastic trash bag near a fence leading to the property.

"It's a waiting game at this point to track down this person," Rivera said.

Dexter Norwood, who lives nearby and walks by the area regularly, said the area was heavily wooded and recently has been cleared. "I guess that exposed some bones," he said of the bag, which was found in an old gravel driveway that had been covered by the brush.

"When I walked through here I smelled something and thought it was a dead bobcat at the side of the road," Norwood said.

Norwood is not the tipster.

The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences was en route to the scene to pick up the remains for analyis.

The wooded area is located just west of Fallbrook Church at 12512 Walters Road.

Deputies said a man spotted the bag and called 911. He said a foul odor was coming from the bag and he thought it could be filled with rotting meat.
